Zlirg

I'm not tired of singers who sound like Zlirg but are aren't. So I present the flamboyant melodramatic flare of Suede.

Suede - The Drowners

This was their first big song in 1992 and what initially drew me to them. After the guitarist Bernard Butler left the band after their second or third album they just weren't as good as they were in the olden days.

Suede - My Dark Star

Suede - Together

These other two songs are b-sides. I recently rediscovered them and they remind me of the summer of 1997. There is something in "My Dark Star" that manages to be both discordant and melodic at the same time. And a certain raw energy (who says that?) in "Together."
